Question

A line segment is translated 3 units down and 1 unit to the left. One of the endpoints after the translation is (5, 8). What was this point before the translation?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the point before the translation, we need to undo the translation. Since the point was translated 3 units down and 1 unit to the left, we need to move it 3 units up and 1 unit to the right.

Thus, the point before the translation is (5 + 1, 8 + 3) = (6, 11).
